When you feel small, insignificant, and vulnerable, the place you want to get to may seem far out of your reach. You may think your goals are lofty and you have your sights set too high. But rest assured this is not the case. Don’t be afraid to aim for the top. Instead, plan for the journey by making ample preparation.

First, have a clear idea of what it is you are trying to accomplish. Second, map out your plan of action into bite size, doable, action steps. Third, tackle each action step until you have successfully completed the task. Once this is done move onto the next action step.

Finally, don’t be afraid to ask for help if you get stuck along the way. Sometimes, when trying to accomplish something with great effort, you realize you cannot do it on your own. All of us can use a little guidance or direction along the way. The stumbling block can be passed if someone who knows the territory and has been there before comes and gives you a hand.

The path ahead of you is an amazing and awesome one. It will require all of your focus, energy, and strength. Whatever you do, don’t give up, don’t drop out, and most of all, don’t stop.
